2025 news

Researchers have made a step forward in improving materials for new electronic devices.

The results of the 2025 National Student Survey have revealed the strengths of the School of Physics, Engineering and Technology for the study of electrical and electronic engineering and engineering (non specific). We have excelled in ‘Academic Support’ and ‘Learning Resources’.

A team of researchers at York and Minho University have made what could be a vital discovery in an emerging field of electronics, and one which could lead to greener electronic devices such as computer processors.

Academics from the School of Physics, Engineering and Technology at the University of York using computer simulations of DNA have shown that “bubbles”, which form when separating DNA helix strands to read genetic information, are formed more easily than previously anticipated.
